What if your heart could be a beam of heaven’s own sunlight? Discover how joy reveals divine love—and why it might just save the day.
A joyful heart is like the sunshine of God’s love, the hope of eternal happiness. ~ Mother Teresa
Reflection:
Mother Teresa’s words are a reminder that joy isn’t surface-level giddiness—it’s the deep, abiding warmth that radiates from a heart aligned with love. A joyful heart, she says, is “like the sunshine of God’s love.” Think about that. Sunshine doesn’t pick favorites. It shines freely, touching everything in its path. So does joy when it comes from the soul. It’s not based on perfect circumstances—it’s rooted in a quiet trust that love is stronger than fear, and that we’re all being gently held by something greater. That kind of joy becomes a window into eternity, a glowing promise that what we hope for—peace, love, meaning—isn’t wishful thinking. It’s already shining within us. A joyful heart doesn’t deny sorrow—it carries hope through it. So let joy rise. Even in the cracks. Especially there. That’s where sunlight always finds its way in.
